“State Will Be Forfeited– Won´t Count For Trump!”

What do they get by forcing Wisconsin to forfeit their Electoral votes?

Article XII of he Constitution states: “The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; “

Note that it says “appointed”, not all that could be appointed.

If Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania all forfeit their electoral votes, even though he has less than 270 Electoral votes, Trump still wins because the new majority is less than 270 and he has more than enough votes to prevail.

I read that, and it's the key phrase. However, I'll bet that there will be a court case filed about whether "appointed" really should be interpreted as "could have been appointed."
